A Tear and A Kiss

The holidays bring many joys and some sorrows as it travels thru the end of our year.For the most part I have had many joys for the last several weeks since Thanksgiving.Tonite brought my sorrow.

There's been a rift building you see... between me and one I love dearly. First came a misunderstanding -- one I did offer to remedy. I do approve, you see, of choices made because it is so important to you and to me.

First came the broken promise of a visit, then more distance as the rift seemed to grow. Perhaps its the holiday season rush -- or maybe not. Right wrong or indifferent its there, a fact, regardless.

A phone call a few days ago brought stressful tidings of a loved one ill. Later, another phone call and the loved one is thankfully improved.

The phone rings and is answered by my mate, "Well hello friend!"A smile crosses my face -- she called you see.

"I only have a few minutes til dinner is ready but I wanted to call and say 'Merry Christmas'."

Responses around, "Merry Christmas to you too."

After a few other exchanges I hear, "I miss you!" "Miss you too, friend." The mate chimes in, "Wish you were here!" Without missing a beat, "No offence, but I am glad I am not."

Right, wrong or indifferent -- OUCH! That stung.You see, the holidays are so busy you know. Things get missed in the rush too and fro.

So, now I am here -- to say, "Remember me when you are ready too --

but for now I must go."

I couldn't wait to get off the phone to cry.

You see, that hurt so badly that I sat herewriting out what I felt for you to see. You won't hear me cry, you won't see my tears.

When you come around again I will be here, waiting and smiling because I love you and miss you so much.

Good bye seems forever, so instead I will say "Talk to you later when things calm down and we can really talk without all the mad rush too and fro and things get forgotten.Give me a call, I will be here."
